Women in Business, Informal Economy & Tax Inclusion — Bridging the Gap
I had the opportunity to contribute to discussions at the International Women’s Day Conference (IWDC-2026), representing VisionAfric-Lesotho and focusing on a critical shift for SMMEs - moving from informal activity to structured economic participation.
A key takeaway:
Every transaction - from sourcing to sales - creates data. When captured effectively, this becomes the foundation for:
• Market access
• Business credibility
• Financial inclusion
• Tax awareness and participation
The challenge is not that businesses are inactive, it is that their activity is not always structured or visible.
Bridging this gap is essential to unlock growth opportunities and enable meaningful participation in both local and regional markets.
